Your 10-second guide to China's GDP report

The nation at the forefront of financial market movements so far
in 2016 — China — will be back in focus today with the release of
Q1 2016 GDP along with industrial production, retail sales and
urban fixed asset investment figures for March.

Retail sales are expected to grow 10.4% year-on-year, up from
10.2% in February, while urban fixed asset investment — the one
positive surprise from February — is expected to have grown by
10.3% between January to March compared to the same period in
2015, up from 10.2% reported previously.

All four data points are scheduled for 12pm AEST, although in the
past there have been numerous instances where the data —
particularly GDP — has been leaked prior to the scheduled release
time.

Whether before, after or on schedule, Business Insider will have
full coverage as soon as the data deluge drops.
